Writing stressed
in new curriculum
By Kim Williams
Staff Writer
Starting in the fall of 1993, all fresh-
men enrolled at ECU will have new writing
requirements added to those needed for
graduation.
The Faculty Senate has given its sup-
port to a new program called Writing Across
the Curriculum that will require all stu-
dents to have 12 semester hours of writing
courses, said program director Dr. Patrick
Bizzaro.
These courses will include English
1100 and 1200, with an additional require-
ment of six hours of "writing intensive"
courses. At least three of the additional re-
quirements must be in the student's major.
"This is a very important program
that has been in development for the past
seven years Bizzaro said. "It is pretty clear
that students aren't writing well enough to
be successful
Bizzaro, who was director of the Writ-
ing Center for five years, conducted a study
of 100 ECU graduates and found that 82
percent of them had no writing instruction
since freshman composition. He also found
that 49 percent of incoming freshmen are
unable to demonstrate minimum writing
skills in entrance essays.
"This is a national emergency that is
causing loss of productivity Bizzaro said.
" It's not just a problem at ECU
He said students that are nearing grad u-
ation are expressing more concern about their
ability to write, and that something needs to
be done between the time a student takes
freshman composition and the time he or she
graduates.
"This will make a difference in the job
market Bizzaro said.
Bizzaro said Writing Across the Cur-
riculum is not just a program that will en-
compass the English department, but one
that will be campus-wide. "The English
department does not want to create a writing
empire he said. "We want students to de-
velop a literacy in their own disciplines
The goal of this new program is to
involve writing-intensive courses in all the
departments on campus. "It's not just the
English department that is responsible
Bizarro said.
Bizarro said that Writing Across the
Curriculum will create very few new courses
because there are already courses that can
just be redesigned. "There is no real need for
courses to be developed he said.
Students who are currently enrolled
will not be required take the additional six
hours of writing courses, but Bizzaro said
that courses will be offered to students on a
voluntary basis to help them in the future.

Enrollment up more than 1,000 from '91
By Karen Hassell
Staff Writer
According to the Office of
the Registrar, enrollment for the
fall semester at ECU reached
17,760students which excels last
year's enrollment by more than
1,000.
Jerry Clayton, assistant di-
rector of undergraduate admis-
sions, attributed the increase to
wide-spread marketing in areas
such as Virginia, Maryland and
New Jersey.
According to Dr. Thomas E.
Powell, director of admissions,
there was a higher than usual num-
ber of applicants. He said the num-
ber of applications was above nor-
mal as early as last October and
continued to rise throughout the
fall and spring.
"Around June or July, we
will find out how many positions
we will get to accommodate the
students said Marlene Springer,
vice chancellor for academic af-
fairs.
"We have to find
out how many students
come before they will tell
us how many faculty they
aregoingtogiveus. Then,
after that, it takes us six
months to a year to search
to find the right people
Springer said the
university is going to aim
for a 2 percent increase in
enrollment for the fall of
1993 compared to the 6
percent increase that oc-
curred in the fall of 1992.
"I would like to see
managed growth so that
we can get the faculty and
the space to accommo-
date the peoplewe have
Springer said.
Faculty increases havea two-
year lag behind increased student
enrollment.
Expansion of the campus has
been delayed by the failure of the

State SAT
scores increase
By Tammy Carter
Staff Writers
In past years, North Carolina has fallen far below the
national average in its Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). However,
the state has enjoyed an upward swing in average scores since
1989.
According to State Superintendent Bob Etheridge, who was
on campus last week to speak at the Chancellor's Forum, the
state's SAT scores have improved a total of 19 points over the last
three years. The largest increase occurred this year with an 11
point jump.
Etheridge attributed the increase to society becoming more
aware of the state's children and the education they are receiving.
He said people have become more focused on the importance of
a good education and have become more supportive of their
childrens' efforts to achieve.
"All children can learn Etheridge said. "I believe that.
When people believe in the children, the children will achieve
ECU also showed an increase in SAT scores for entering
freshmen. According to Skip Kirby of the Planning and Institu-
tional Research, the preliminary average SAT scores in 1992 for
freshmen is 900,45 points above North Carolina's average score
of 855. The College Board reported the national average SAT
scores as 899 points, wh ich pu ts East Carolina one point above the

Student runs for
City Council seat
By Jeff Becker
News Editor
The ECU student who ran for the
Greenville City Council last spring will get
a second chance to get elected.
Patrick Pitzer lost the race for the
council's at-large seat in the May 5 election,
but because of voting law violations, the
State Board of Election called for a run-off
on Nov. 3.
Pitzer, the first ECU student to run for
a council position, placed third in the three-
way race last May.
At-large candidate Jack Wall placed
first in the election with 2,784 votes, 52 more
than runner-up Chuck Patrick. Pitzer re-
ceived 611 votes.
Pitzer said he expects to receive more
votes in the run off. He said the May elec-
tion fell oneday after final exams and many
students were not in town to vote.
"If I get the students activated, 1 have
a good chance he said. "If 20 percent of the
students vote, I will win the election. Even
a 15 percentstudentturnoutmay be enough
to win it
Pitzer said the students need some-
one on the council who can speak up for
such issues as parking near campus, the
downtown Halloween celebration and the
opening of new bars downtown.
"I'm just looking to have a student's
ear and voice in things that are not billed as
student issues but directly affect one-third
of the city ? the 17,000-plus students he
said.
"If students want to find out why
something ha ppened, ho w i t can be a voided,
or what they can do if they feel that some-
thing needs to be changed, there should be
someone there who they can talk to

One case of Precision Glide blood collection needles was
reported stolen from the center. A lab assistant put them in a
store room on Sept. 1, and they were not there on Sept. 9 when
someone went to get them. The needles can only be used for
drawing blood, not for injections.

Jarvis Hall-second floor
A male non-student was found passed out on the floor of the

Southwest of Jenkins Art Building
A male student was attacked by five or six suspects that
jumped him while he was walking. He said one of them hit him
with a fist in his right shoulder and then was struck in the back
by another attacker's elbow, causing him to fall. The attackers
are unknown.

word DOPE. The letters were between the pitcher's mound and
home plate. There was 10 square yards of damage.
Suite 301 Belk Hall
A resident of the room left while her roommate was watching
television and left the door open. When she returned, her
roommate had fallen asleep and her jewelry box was gone. The
contents were estimated to be worth $1,015.
Belk Hall-fourth floor
A male resident was sleeping with his door closed, but not
locked. When he awoke, the drawers of both desks were
standing open and some of the contents had been stolen
including, a radar detector, a watch and a 35 mm camera.
Slay Hall-first floor
A male resident left his room for about five minutes to go to
the drink machine and closed his door. When he returned, the
door was open slightly. When he entered, a suspect was
standing behind the door. The suspect said he was looking for
someone and had the wrong room. When the suspect left, the

72,000 in 1989 to 60,000 this year.
The graduation rate is ex-
pected to reach a low of 58,000

Bizzaro said about 40 per-

country have implemented Writ-

grams, but the program is being
fine-tuned to fit ECU's needs.
"Only about one in four of other

N.G legislature puts animal research facility on hold
7
?
By Elizabeth Shimmel
Assistant News Editor
The plans for the expansion
of ECU'S Medical School Viva-
rium are among the many things
that did not receive funding be-
cause of the denial of a state bond
referendum.
The $300 million Capital Im-
provements Bond would haveal-
lowed the general public to vote
on construction throughout the
16 campus UNC system. Propos-
als included in the bond for ECU
were a $26 million expansion of
Joyner Library, a $5 million ac-
quisition of Rose High School
and the $7 million expansion of
the vivarium (animal research
facility) at the life science com-
plex.
The animal research facility
at the School of Medicine allows
medical students the chance to
work with animals in medical re-
search.
Richard Brown, vice chancel-
lor for Business Affairs said, "The
vivarium was not singled out, it
was one of four projects we were
seeking tohaveincluded in the UNC
bond issue
According to Dr. William
Pryor, chairman of the department
of comparative medicine, the ex-
pansion of the vivarium is neces-
sary for students to benefit from the
research facility.
Two years ago, Pryor and
his colleagues at the life science
complex asked the state for plan-
ning money and received
$375,000.
Under normal circumstances,
the appropriate amount of build-
ing funds are given after the plans
have been produced. This was not
the case for the vivarium expan-
sion program.
Brown said if the economy
improves, the vivarium could get
the bond money that is necessary
to expand the facility.
"If the economy turns
around, this project is pretty high
on the list,but will there be enough
money is the question Brown
said. "If there is another bond ref-
erendum, then there will be
enough money
However, officials at the life
science complex will continue to
push foranother bond referendum.
"When the state has leftover
money, the legislature meets to
decide where the money goes
Brown said. "The vivarium ex-
pansion is currently going back
into the 1993-95 capital request

; to help the failing country. The U. N. is not
the only organization lagging in help to this
destitute nation, though. Foreign countries
? including the United States ? have re
called their embassy staffs, further fueling
Somalia's crash.
Soldiers destined to guard the incoming
relief food are just now coming into the
country at the port of Mogadishu, though
they were promised months ago. Other cit-
ies are still prone to attacks from rival clans,
I fighting over control of each city.
In the city of Belet-Huen, 140 armed
guards were hired so as to protect incoming
planes from bandit attacks. This past week-
end, however, security broke down. The
U.S. military has stopped flights after get-
ting a bullet in the tail of one of their planes
and private relief groups can just not handle
the 40,000 people eating daily in Red Cross
kitchens.
A Red Cross worker said that food ship-
ments were "like a drop in the ocean" even
before ths Plights stopped. 'We get 4,000
(people) here every day; but we can only
feed 1,100 the worker said. "Many will go
back home without food
A SIDEWARDS GLANCE
The time has come for countries ? in-
cluding the United States ? to get off their
collective backsides and reinstitute help to
Somalia. The United Nations promised re-
lief months ago and is just now fulfilling
that pledge. Though the U.N. has admitted
some fault in not getting food to the people as
quick as they should have, that is not enough.
Admitting you're careless in your duties
is one thing, but to remain neglectful after
this admission only serves as a contradic-
tion in terms. Security in Somalia is non-
existent and only when the troops receive
their orders can food be properly distrib-
uted to the people that need it the most.
Closer to home, the United States gov-
ernment needs to re-evaluate their position
on Somalia. Though no one wants to see
U.S. soldiers injured or killed in a foreign
country, common decency dictates that some
form of aid needs to be given.
Obviously, private agencies are unable
to handle the tremendous amount of aid
that is needed.
Only governments ? foreign and do-
mestic ? can manage the intense load that
is needed to solve the problem. Further
indifference can only compound the issue
and a definite stance must be taken. If aid is
to be given, then give it.
Empty promises will just mean emptier
stomachs.
By David J. Jones
Wake up and smell the latex
!?-
.

Ten months ago to the day,
my sister gave birth to a very
healthy looking baby boy. They
decided to name the baby Tanner
Lee White (Yeah, I know Tanner is
a little goofy sounding to me too)
butanywayTanner grew quickly
and was a very manageable baby.
For a first child he seemed to be a
real gift from heaven.
Then complications set in.
Tanner was diagnosed, at six
months, with having a blood dis-
order. I'm not even going to try to
pronounce the name of this dis-
ease, but it had something to do
with the fact that Tanner's bone
marrow was not producing blood
correctly. His red blood cells were
only being produced at 1100 the
rate of a normal baby his age. To
complicate matters even more, his
liver's rate of detoxification had
increased three-fold. The net ef-
fect of mis was that anything that
Tanner's body was producing to
fix his blood problem, his liver
was screwing up or cancelling out.
The real kicker (and the crux
of this article) is that Tanner had to.
go to the hospital again yesterday.
I asked my parents what the prob-
lem was and they said that there
was no real problem, other than
the aforementioned ones de-
scribed above. Tanner was going
in to be tested for the HTV virus. I
thought that I was going to stop
breaming. Why on earth would
they be testing a, now, ten month
old baby for HIV? Then immedi-
ately it dawned on me that the
doctors were concerned about
Tanner catching the virus because
of all the transfusions he has to
have. He has to be tested from
now on (until he is cured) every
six months for HIV and he still has
to get his transfusions once every
two weeks to keep his red blood
cell count up.
A couple of months before
the situation that I have just de-
scribed occurred, my father and I
got into a very curious argument.
We were both watching the
evening news and the story that
had just aired was about the fact
that the New York public school
system was distribu ting condoms
to its high school students for free.
He said that high school age stu-
dents should not be having sex,
they were too young and that
condom distribution simply en-
couraged them (yeah, pop's a con-
servative through and through). I
tried to give him the argument
that besides the fact that condom
distribution promotes sexual
awareness, these students are go-
ing to engage in sexual intercourse
anyway. He still didn't agree.
There was no changing his
attitude until Tanner came along.
No one ever thinks about it until it
happens to them or to one they
love (sound familiar?). It hasn't
even happened to Tanner yet and
we're all scared to death and pray-
ing with all our hearts that he
comes through this all right.
I had a friend a few months
ago (yes he's still a friend we just
don't see each other as often now
since I moved) who, to put it
bluntly snagged a new girl every
weekend. He didn't seem to care
who she was, just as long as she
was cute. I met more people in the
short year that I lived with tfjis
guy than I did the previous five
years. He couldn't have cared less
about safe sex. He was just your
typical, stupid, braindead, jerk. I
expressed my concern to him
about this particular aspect of his
life. He just feigned concern and
dismissed the discussion.
I have met many people in
this town that fit this same type
character mold, male and female
alike. Folks, this is serious busi-
ness. AIDS and other forms of
STD's are on the rise in our coun-
try. Ithas nothing to do with "Fam-
ily Values" on the decline. This
has to do with caringabout people
and giving a damn about your
friends and neighbors.
It doesn't matter if you are
bisexual, heterosexual or homo-
sexual, this is a problem that af-
fects everyoneno matterwhat their
walk of life. The next time you and
you partner decid to make love,
show some love first by utilizing
some form of safe sexual practice.
It's not that much of an inconve-
nience and it certainly will put
your consciences more at ease.
Please people, realize that
it's your blood that Tanner is re-
ceiving.
Please think first so he will
have a chance at a long and fruit-
ful life. A life that, we his family
(especially his uncle), think he
deserves.

JOE OF ALL TRADES
By Joe Horst
Murphy Brown and Quayle square off
The issue of Murphy Brown,
Dan Quayle and family values
may have been beaten to death
already, but I'm going to give it
one last shot to finish the beast off
forever.
The whole issue started with
remarks Quayle made about
Brown in a speech in which he
blamed the recent Los Angeles ri-
ots on a "poverty of values
"It doesn't help matters when
prime- time TVhasMurphy Brown
mocking the importance of fa-
thers by bearing a child alone and
calling it just another lifestyle
choice Quayle said.
Tempers and issues flared af-
ter this speech, finally culminat-
ing in the season openerof Murphy
Brown, telecast Monday night.
Brown rebutted Quayle's com-
ments with an out-of-character
speech at the end of the show.
Possibly the most memorable
line in the speech came when
Brown specifically addressed
Quayle and his definition of fam-
ily values.
"Perhaps it's time for the vice
president to expand his definition
and recognize that whether by
choice or circumstance, families
come in all shapes and sizes
BOB'S WALL
Brown said.
? "Family values" broadens ho-
rizons
But, of course, I have to put
my two cents in and try to get the
last word.
In a society today that no
longer conforms to the happily
married husband and wife, 2.4
kids and a white picket-fence sce-
nario, attacking single mother-
hood can only be deemed a lesson
in ultimate stupidity. Not content
to be a virtual laughing-stock for
the media, Quayle decided to
climb on his horse and tilt the
biggest windmill he could find.
Don Quixote would have been
proud.
Single motherhood has be-
come a lifestyle of choice (and also
not of choice) that is accepted
readily now because of its preva-
lence. Twenty years ago, Quayle's
remarks may rave reached a more
favorable audience. But, in the '90s,
the only response that should have
been reasonably expected was
anger.
"Family values" is so broad
and wide a concept that to bring it
up only invites confusion and
puzzlement. So many different
styles of families exist today that
to profess that one is the only cor-
rect way to live only serves to
alienate every other part of the
country.
?So, let's finish it and get on
with our lives.
Well, the time has come to
throw the last clumpof dirt on this
political hot potato(e). Quayle has
upped his tough-guy image and
proven that he can take a stance on
a controversial issue. Now, if we
could get him to make that stance
thoughtful and well-considered,
instead of spur of the moment,
then maybe we'd have a decent
vice-president
Murphy Brown's done her
part, using television as a medium
for the views of a nation. As she
says, the only acceptable defini-
tion for a family is not "a mother,
a father and children A family is
a group of people working to-
gether not just because of blood-
ties, but because of the love and
caring that they share with each
other throughout their entire
lives.

Racism: the product of ignorance
When did racism start? Was it
the day the first slaveships landed
in Africa?
It is true that many of the
slaves who ended up in America
were actually sold to the white
slave traders by other Africans.
The many tribes of Africa were
constantly at war with each other.
After a battle, the victorious tribe
would take the survivors captive
and trade them for various goods.
The slave traders wou Id also barge
into villages and kill the inhabit-
ants, literally kidnapping the na-
tives in order to bring them back
to America.
So, you have the slave traders
who were murderers and pilagers,
and you have the African tribes
who felt no remorse trading their
enemies into slavery. One is just
as bad as the other, but I person-
ally don't believe it was a white
against black thing, not back then
at least.
Blacks have been persecuted
for hundreds of years, but I don't
believe this was the beginning of
racism.
The atrocities that took place
during the days of slavery were
terribly unjust, but remember that
we are talking about a time when
civilization as a whole was rela-
tively barbaric. For example, back
then people thought the cure for
syphilis was to have intercourse
with a virgin!
The days of slavery are not the
direct cause of racism and anger
that we all have to deal with now
in our daily lives.
I honestly don't believe that a
black person would be mad at a
white person, just because a white
person's ancestors were
slaveowners. What a person's an-
cestors did doesn't have anything
to do with the descendants who
are here now.
I don't think racsim began
with slavery. I think racsim began
the day slavery ended.
The concept of placing this
huge group of people into a soci-
ety which is entirely different
could not possibly have suc-
ceeded. The slaves had no idea
what freedom in America felt like.
They were placed into a society
that white people had created and
lived in.
The icing on the cake was these
new members of society were a
different color. These poor people
never had a chance to fit in and
feel normal, not to mention I'm
sure many white people treated
these newly freed slaves as if they
were just that; someone that used
to be a slave. Did they think these
people would just buy a house
and settle down?
Let's switch to a different time
in history, a more recent time pe-
riod. There was a point when black
people couldn't use the same wa-
ter fountain, eat in the same res-
taurantor ride where they wanted
to on the bus. Tnere were many
great black leaders who helped
their people to survive such a time.
Lately, I have heard people
say Malcolm X has become a popu-
lar figure from history because he
was violent. People have seemed
to think that violent actions will
bring a more rapid change.
1 don't think violence will
help end racism and I don't be-
lieve Malcolm X thought that ei-
ther. I think Malcolm X did what
he thought was right for that time
period. These are the 90s. I believe
we have to use many methods to
fight racism, violence is not on the
list.
One of the main ways to fight
racism is education. Well, I can
hear everyone in readerland
groaning about how I'm another
George Herbert Walker Bush. This
is not true.
When someone hates you be-
cause you are black or you hate
me because I'm a white, we have a -
problem. If you hate me because I
have no personality, fine. We need
to educate these fools who believe
color is grounds for hatred. I'm
tired of having to suffer because of
other people's ignorant actions.
I saw a man on CNN getting
interviewed. The riots had been
over for at least two weeks. The
man stood on the charred side-
walk in front of his burned out
building. Heexplained that he had
over $50,000 worth of clothing and
other inventory in his store. He
did not have insurance because in
that part of LA it was too expen-
sive. He said he had no money in
the bank, his life savings was in
the store. He was finished. He had
nothing to his name except the
ashes of the store.
Was that man a racist? Did he
deserve to have everything taken
from him? Did his store serve as a
sacrifice to end racism?
Did the rioters interview him
to see what kind of guy he was, or
what his stand on politics was be-
fore they burned his store down?
I don't think they did, the man
was black. He is one of the people
who this violence was supposedly
trying to hel p. Does that make any
sense?

Flip to any late-night channel
on a Sunday night and more than
likelv, vou'U see the latest in a pro-
fusion of teievangelists. Is this just a
new fad or the newest example in
religious history? Anew book by an
ECU English professor delves into
the religious experiences of 30 indi-
viduals and the similarities of each
experience.
"The Conversion Experience in
America: A Sourcebook on Reli-
giousConversion Autobiography
by Dr. James C. Hoi te of the English
department, studies autobiogra-
phies collected from early Ameri-
can pioneers to contemporary reli-
gious leaders.
Holte said his idea for the book
came from an interest in autobiog-
raphies and an experience with his
infant daughter. He and his wife
were taking turns sirring up with
the child early in the morning.
"The only thingon television at
the time wereTVevangelists Holte
said. "So my daughter and 1 would
sit in the rocking chair watching
this kind of 'other culture' that ex-
isted
Watching these TV preachers,
Holte became interested and, with
rch, soon recognized thattheir
religi iversion narratives
served as a constant in American
history.
Holte's book is one of the first
that studies the literature aspect of
the conversion experience, with an
emphasis on autobiographical ac-
counts. Most contemporary re-
search in the 20th century focuses
on the religious and psychological
aspects of the experience.
In his introduction, Holte
breaks down the narratives into
three basic parts. "Usually, the nar-
rative starts with the person's life
before the conversion. Then, the
conversion experience itself f l!ows,
and is finished with the person's life
after the conversion
Holte further breaks down each
individual narrative in his book into
three parts also: b'ography, autobi-
ography and criticism. Withineach
narrative, Holte uses his own and
other authors' criticism to put the
narrative into its timely perspec-
tive.
One of the characters in the
book that interested Holte the most
was Dorothy Day, author of "The
Long Loneliness Day started out
as a communist and an anarchist,
subsequently being arrested for
opposing the American entry into
the first world war. Later, Day be-
camea Roman Catholic and helped
found the Catholic Worker Move-
ment.
Other conversion accounts
come from diverse individuals such
as Jim Bakker, Carry Nation, John
Woolman and Malcolm X.
A common thread that runs
through some narratives is their
conversion cKcurring when they are
in a state of stress or crisis. Psy-
chologists have theorized that this
crisis causes a personality break-
down, but a Puritan ministernamed
Jonathan Edwards explained it as
"God preparing a person to realize
his own sinfulness said Holte.
"People out of a fundamental-
ist Protestant background can tell
vou the day and time it occurred
Holte said.
"A number of other writers
said conversion is an ongoing pro-
cess rather than a particular mo-
ment. Your background determines
how you describe what happens to
you Holte said.
Admitting that autobiogra-
phies are sometimes "one foot in
fiction and one foot in history Holte
says that they are nonetheless great
stories to read.
Priced at $59.95, the book will
beavailablein some bwkstores and
libraries.
"If it sells well as a resource
book in libraries said Holte, "I
think there will be an interest in

to perform classical touches
By Chandra Speight
Staff Writer
Pianist Emanuel Ax and cellist
Yo Yo Ma will give a joint concert in
EastCarolina's Wright Auditorium
Monday, Sept. 28. The recital will
feature the music of composers
Debussy, Mendelssohn and
Brahms.
Cited as two of contemporary
music's most esteemed artists, Ax
and Ma began performing together
professionally just over six years
ago. Their joint efforts have proved
advantageous, earning them two
Grammy Awards and fillingcount-
less auditoriums with pleased lis-
teners.
Both Ax and Ma have full solo
careers as well. Ma, a relatively
young artist in his late '30s, already
has five Grammy Awards to his
name. In addition to his concert
season and extensive tours, Ma de-
votes time each year to music edu-
cation through teaching summer
classes at Tanglewood Festival
School in Massachusetts.
A Paris native, Ma began play-
ing the cello at age four. He gradu-
ated from Harvard University and
studied at Juilliard. He is married
and has two children, Nicholas and
Emily.

Emanual Ax and Yo Yo Ma will bring their classical talent to Wright
Auditorium Sept. 28 with the piano and cello.
Ax, a Columbia University
alumnus with a French major, is
considered by his peers to be the
greatest pianist of present time.
Noted for his poetic lyricism and
unique style, Ax's 20 albums have
taken top honors.
At the age of 25, Ax won the
First Arthur Rubinstein Interna-
tional Piano Competition in Tel
Aviv, Israel. Born in Poland, Ax
came to the United States to stud vat
Juilliard. He married pianist Yoko
Nozaki and they now live in New
York City with their two children,
Joseph and Sarah.
Both holding exclusive Sony
classical recordingcontracts, Ax and
Ma plan to continue to collaborate
their musical talents. Monday's 8
p.m. performance is sure to be a
welcomeaddition to EastCarolina's

'Recherche' artists commited to the uncommon Automatic
By Lisa Williams
Staff Writer
East Carolina University's
Wellington B. Gray Art Gallery
opened the 1992 school year with
an unusual exhibition called Redier-
die.
This exhibition features 35
works by 11 artists from the Phila-
del phia African-American artists or-
ganization.
Recherche, which means "un-
common or rare helps the artists
cope with some of the issues Afri-
can-American artists must face by.
They do this by becoming a collec-
tive force who have committed
themselves to the cause.
Members of this grou p are com-
posed of mid-career artists who
have become fascinated with the
creative process. They approach it
in stylistically and philosophically
different ways.
The artists work together so
they are able to share in their artistic
growth and at the same time en-
courage individual expression.
Recherche has exhibitions in
Europe and South America, as well
as all over the United States.
The artists rely heavily on ori-
entation and abstractionand present
their works in paintings, photo-
graphs, fibers and sculptures.
Through this, they are trying to re-
flect what is going on in their com-
munity.
The fiber and weaving con-
struction titled "Retreat at Blue
Mountain" by Nannette Acker-
Clark came from some of her per-
sonal experiences both immediate
and from her ancestors.
She said her work is not
planned,each section seems to grow
from the other.
"The works I create incorpo-
rate motifs and symbols of my Afri-
can American heritage ? I hope to
embody someof the traditional and
spiritual concepts in the African-
American experiences in the coun-
try Acker-Clark said.
Her visual inspiration came
froma placewhereshe worked near
the mountains. This served as a re-
treat from a certain part of her life.
Don Camp's work could defi-
nitely be considered unusual be-
cause he takes memorable photo-
graphs and places them on mirrors
so that the image never leaves you.
By looking into a mirror you are no
longer equal with the image.
Another of the artists, Walter
Edmonds, created the oil painting,
"Tornado.
"The reason behind this tor-
nado is Edmonds' wondering if
people are doing something to our
earth to cause such catastrophes.
In a lecture given by Dr. Leslie
King-Hammond of the Maryland
Institute of the Arts Thursday night
at ECU, she described these artists
as dancing spirits experimenting
with light, form, color and shape.
"These artists don't believe in
perfection so their art depends on
symbols to represent the actual ob-
jects King-Hammond said.
She continued to say that Afri-
can-American artists receive nega-
tivity from the main stream com-
munity.
In addition, the internal parts
of the African-American commu-
nity aren'tsure whether thearthelps
or hurts them.
The main objective of the Re-
cherche group is for the viewer to
leave thinkingabouttheexhibition.
Recherche will be on exhibit
through Oct. 17.

"Too High" runs down the middle
of music with a smooth type of feel.
"Slave" starts out slow witfi a
jazzy feel to it and, with the onsetbf

of blues and hard rock. Gene Tart's
lyrics are throaty and emotional,
giving the listener an image of him
romancing the microphone. "Slave"
finishes on a hard note with guitars
and drums clashing in competition
with the lyrics.

the classic rhythm of rock 'n' roll
with a style all their own. As the

Gary Blackney
I have a very bad feeling
about this game. BGSU should
not scare me but they do.
Tony Davis broke his thumb
and will likely beon the sidelines
with Jerry Dillon. Davis has
started to fill the shoes of Robert
Jones, quite well (43 tackles after
three games).
Missing too is Greg Grandi-
son. He has been noticeably ab-
sent from thedefensi ve schemes,
only participatinginroughly half
the plays of his buddy Davis. I
wish I knew the reason behind the
near benching of an All-American
candidate. I understand it as
much as this campus under-
stands why Sean McConnell
starts over the Satellite.
While fm on the subject of
who starts, first quarter points
are the thing we may be missing
the most against BGSU ? we
havenone,zero,zip,zilch through
three games. Might this have
something to do with the open-
ing drive? If Coach Logan wants
to establish the running game in
the first quarter, I am sure Mr.
Anderson can hand the ball off as
well as anybody.
Enough negativity. Props go
out to Junior Smith. His 133 yards
rushing are the most by any Buc
since 1990. Maybe we have a little
running game but I would rather
not find out in Ohio. Please,
Mother Nature, don't let it rain. I
want the ball in the air. The better
we throw the larger the margin of
victory.

After an exhilarating win
over the South Carolina Game-
cocks, waterlogged fans had
these comments:
"I guess when it rains it
pours, but this is ridiculous
said Byron E. Bland, a political
science major. 'This year's kick-
ing teamcan'tevenkickahabit
Weall know this year's team
is lacking in the kicking depart-
ment. By no means is that a di-
rect attack or reflection of
Michael Jacobs and DekeOwens
ability. However, the ever
present 'hypothetical situation"
has to be addressed.
God forbid, Jacobs or
Owens should go down during
the course of the season. Can the
added pressure of the special
teams kicking game be carried
by the explosive offensive and
the dominating defense? Will
one kickerpunter be able to
maintain a high level of consis-
tency?
This weekends match-up
with Bowling Green will finally
expose the weakest link in the
ECU football chain. Unless Sean
McConnell and Michael Ander-
son can totally dominate the Fal-
con defense, the opportunity for
the "last play of the game" will
sway towards the Falcons.

ECU'S Volleyball Head Coach
Martha McCaskill on the water or
on the trails. Either behind the con-
sole of an Evinrude power boat,
d ragging the line on the skis, or just
out enjoying a nature trail. She is
truly an outdoor enthusiast.
"Oh, I love the outdoors. Wa-
ter skiing, snow skiing, boating, it
doesn't matter McCaskill said. "I
just love nature
McCaskill, no stranger to natu-
ral surroundings, is from Erwin,
N.C. Erwin is a small town in
Harnett County which houses
some of the most spectacular
wooded scenery in the state.
"Erwin has changed a lot over
the years. Even though it's still
rather small, it's still as beautiful
now as it was when I was younger
McCaskill said.
During her high school years,
McCaskill played basketball and
Softball for Erwin High School, af-
ter which she went on to play soft-
ball for the Tarheels of UNC-
Chapel Hill. In addition, she gradu-
ated as a Dean's List student in
1979 with degree in Health and
Physical Education. The following
year she earned her masters de-
gree and landed her first head
coaching job.
As a Head Coach, Martha Mc-
Caskill was very successful in
-aching out to her players with
her words of love, respect and com-
mitment. She led by example and
also gave unselfishly of her time. In
her first six seasons, McCaskill
coached her Valkories of D.H.
Conley to six consecutive state vol-
leyball appearances.
But, as in all lives, a little rain
must fall. With so much success and
happinessabound,Coach McCaskill
lostborhher parents within twoyears
of each other.
'It was a hard time for my sister
and I McCaskill said. "Since their
death, I have noticed, within me, a
change for the better
After the 1985 season, McCa-
skill continued to amass an impres-
sive 10-year coaching record. In
those 10 years, she managed a 212-
30 win lost record, was twice
named Coach of the Year, while
leading D. H. Conley to a 3A State
Championship in 1986. In 1989 she
was the Female Coach of the Year in
Region I. Her teams also finished
third in the state twice, and were a
second place finisher once.
So when asked, why did she
come to East Carolina? McCaskill
just smiled and said, "I was ready
for a change. I was offered the op-
portunity to coach at East Carolina
and I felt that this was an excellent
chance for me to continue to grow
Along with her new found du-
ties, Coach McCaskill managed to
assist theSpecial Olympicsof North
Carolina. For the last two Olym-
pics, McCaskill was appointed and
servf d as the Director of Volleyball.
"It was a lot of hard work, but it
was wonderful to see the kids hav-
ing so much fun and truly enjoying
themselves McCaskill said. "ECU
and the town of Greenville were the
co-venue holders for the Olympics
the last two years and it was good to
see the community and the school
working together to help such a
noteworthy cause
Coach McCaskill, now in her
third season, has visions of success
and happiness for the 1992 squad.
With her work cut out for her,
McCaskill and Lady Pirates have
setouttoaccomplished the unimag-
inable ? a winning record in the
CAA. East Carolina has been the
cellar team since the league was
formed in 1986.
"The schools in the CAA have
sound volleyball programs and are
stable in their coaching and recruit-
ing departments McCaskill said.
"This year ECU is knocking on the
door, and should rise from thebase-
ment of the Colonial Athletic Asso-
ciation
With the last winning season
for ECU volleyball dating back to
1989 (16-15), the Lady Pirates are in
a position to turn some heads, and
open some eyes in the CAA.
'This year's group of young
ladies have a lot of heart and de-
sire McCaskill said. "They have
the chemistry and the potential to
make a lot of good things happen
on the court

Pirate football fans have many fig-
ures to focus their attention on this sea-
- son. There are a multitude of players
I which can distract their eyes, a list nearly
I too long to mention. Who could forget the
twoexdtingquarterbacks,McGonnelland
I Anderson? Or the defensive terrors Tony
I Davis and Jerry Dillon?
However,giventhecurrenttwogame
win streak, and the possibility of another
successful season, the attention of ECU
fans is quickly turning toward Head
Coach Steve Logan. With memories of
last year's departure of former coach Bill
Lewis to Georgia Tech still fresh on the
minds of Pirate fans, many question
whether there is an Atlanta for Coach
Logan, if the team mirrors last year's
success.
Coach Logan tells Pirate fans not to
worry. Though he said he cannot predict
the future, he added, Tm not trying to
win and leave. I would sign a lifetime
contract if I could

offer" received by
Lewis, but under-

Logan, who also

days.
served as personal mentor to Jeff Blake, is
developingcloserelationships with Michael
Anderson and Sean McConnell. He said of
all the aspects of his job, coaching the quar-
terbacks was the most enjoyable.
"Thaf s the fun part of what I do he
said. He also said that Michael Anderson
has become more trusting of him. "If s hard
to rum your mind and body over to some-
one in totality he said. "Michael has gotten
much closer .to that
Logan said he looks forward to the
prospect of Sean McConnell becoming a
graduate assistant coach in the next sea-
son, a situation he feels would not only be
good for McConnell, but for Anderson as
well.
Logan said that one of the reasons he
enjoys his job is toe area of Greenville and
the opportunities it provides for him and his
family. He and his wife Laura have started
both their sons in little league baseball, but
he emphatically states he is not a "Little
League Dad he said. "I have no ego for
their success. Whatever they want to do is
fine with me Logan does notwanthis sons
to follow in his football footsteps, however
? he is more interested in their academic
success.
Logan credits Tulsa coach John Cooper
with being a major influence on his coach-
ing career, and has adopted his easy-going
attitude for use at East Carolina. Logan does
not allow emotion to cloud his judgement
preferring to "teach on Saturday
Logan feels the exciting brand of foot-
ball played at ECU will do more for recruit-
ing than additions to the facilities. "I watch
other football teams and get bored Logan said. "One thing you can
count on when you go to an ECU football game is being enter-
tained
Logan feels the most important thing for the program is to
maintain a winning tradition. "If you win, you recruit good players
?Thaf s what I'm trying to do, Win, Win, Win. Sometimes I'm a little
too consumed with that, but I make no apologies for winning

Volleyball jams with
Jimmy and Terry
By Chas Mitch'l
Assistant Sports Editor
With Jimmy Jamm and Terry
Lewis filling the airways, the Lady
Pirates took to the hardwoods Tues-
day night against Coastal Carolina.
The electrifying sounds from the
movie soundtrack Mo' Money sent
the spark needed to aid the Pirates to
a three game sweep of the Chanti-
cleers.
According to Head Coach
Martha McCaskill, thechemistry and
opportunity is there for this years
team. "I'm so glad to see our kids
respond McCaskill said. "We were
clicking tonight, on both sides of the
ball
In three games, ECU white-
washed Coastal 15-8,154,15-10. By
toe time the crowd managed to get
into the groove of the match, the con-
test was over.
"We're still struggling on our
passes McCaskill said after the win.
"Even though we were successful in
three games, it doesn't allow enough
time to work on our digs and kills
Jenny Parson had a team-high
34 assists and Leigh Wilcox led the
offense with 12 kills. Freshman
Melanie Richard sparked the defen-
sive unit with her 11 digs.
The Lady Pirates are now 4-5and
will next square off against Virginia
Commonwealth on Sept. 25.
"VCU obviously is playing well,
and they have beaten some good
teams and have continued to play
extremely well McCaskill said. "I
know that they're able to play and
play well, so we need to work on
middle fielding and we will have a
chance to compete fairly well against
them
